It all depends on the nature of the "house shot". Some house shots have the Great Wall of China!! If that is the case, a solid or hybrid is fine for me till the third game,....then I go pearl.

If its a house shot with flying back ends then I'm usually going pearl with a lot of speed, but I can go pin down hybrid as well. The fronts will dictate, which though.

If its a medium house shot with medium oil, and average backends, I'll probably go with a solid all three games, and whether to go pin down or pin up will be dictated by the natural transition of the lanes.

I usually go with a pin down Solid or Hybrid to start out as the house I'm at likes using the Great Wall most nights.  Once the pattern opens up a bit around the 2nd or 3rd game, I finish with a pin up pearl.  If the back is flying, it's usually a pearl all 3 games.

I definitely like pin down starting out as it rolls earlier and gives me a smoother reaction overall.  Once it opens, I really like going pin up to give additional length and make the bigger move in back.

 
I was going to respond to this topic and write almost the exact same thing. You saved me the trouble.

Ditto ... same for me ... thanks guys for saving me the trouble of writing.

Surface. Usually 500/1000, 500/2000, or just 1000, 2000, or sometimes 4000 depending on the ball not the sales terminology. 

Pin over ring...anything that gets down lane. Either a strong pearl or a mild solid

Synthetics=solids
Wood=pearls

Boom

+1. this works for me as well, as a general rule.

It is really all about carry, since you should be able to hit the pocket all day with anything in your back. As a low rev stroker the best ball will often change from night to night on the same shot depending on a lot of factors including how the other guys are playing them.   My best ball on a house however is often my Black Widow Legend with pin on the grip line below the fingers.
